Forest fires in - the Cascade mountains cause these dense clouds of vapor to fall upon us like a pa l, and our atmosphere, wbiah is geoertlly clear and jnvigorattug, becomes mui ky and oppressive. But there is one consolation, the smoke is not as dense aa it might have been. In former years it baa settled upon the Columbia like an impenetrable veil of darkness, and boats, on the middle river bave been forced to tie m during night and wait for the rays of the sun to affoid - i them an opportunity to make their deatina ' tion. Mr. A. Genres ia excelling all his former . efforts in the manufacture of summer r drinks, and bis brands of soda, aarsararilla, cider acd "tax" are most delightful bev.r . ages. Tbey exhilarate but not stimulate, and appear to wash the cobwebs off the brain and sonl. After partaking one appears to be more in love with bia fellow-men, and bis thou 'hta come clearer and in a mere coo cise manner. . To the manual laborer these drinks steady bis nerves, and to the pro fessional man and word forger, they make plain the scientific road he should follow ' and open np oew fields if thought, with "flower bespraogled plains and verdant meads," in which his fruitful imaginaticn may roam at will and pluck the gema of in tellect. It is not necessary to -state that the writer has . ju.t partaken ot a bottle of Genres' summer beverages ' . The city jail was the scene of considerable excitement yesterday, and the recorder and er gioeer were foiced to inter ere and re . store order. An individual bad been ar ' rested the day previous for being drunk and . , disorderly, and be was so very much intox icated that not satisfied with painting the town red before his arrest he still continued the operation after being incarcerated. A : soon as placed inside the door he began to abuse an inmate, and then picked a quart e' " ' with another unfortunate on the inside. In the latter case this was resented, and the man had a chair raised over the inebriate's bead when the recorder and engineer en tered They restored peace and harmony by making the man lay down bia chair and the beiiggerent to occupy one of the cells ' The fellow was n t sober enough to-day to be interviewed by the recorder; bnt when w be is iD a proper condition he will be made 7 to pay for bis amusement. The residence 'of Mr. A. B. Mott, on Pleasant Ridge.about twelve miles south east of this city, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon between Ibe hours of 2 and 3 o'clock. Mrs. Mutt and her daughter had been basing bread, and bad - stepped into the garden to pick some fruit. Hearing a peculiar noise coming from the house they turned to go . back, but were slopped at the door by the flumes,. and it was impossible for tbem to enter. Mr. Mott and bis boy were in the f eld, and by the ttme they returned the house was enveloped in flames. It was impossible to save anything, and the building and lurniture were completely destroyed, leaving the family with noth ing but what tbey naaon. ine loss is estimated at $800 ana the insurance is , $300 This will be but a slight remunera tion to Mr. Mott as it will not nearly le im burse him for the Iocs sufieied. ev.ning was spent very aKieeably by liffer- nt amusements, and a bountiful collation was xpread at a seasonable hour. A Portland party at Trout L'ke a few lays ago broke camp and left 1300 mnun raiu trout piled upon the bank to rot. It is sportsmen of this class who are debt roving 'be attractiveness of all the mountain re rts. There seems to be no way in which ibe bogs can be kept oat of tbt mountains. Astoria Budget: It would not have taken much encouragement last night for a few nnodred citizens to have gone to the jail md taken out the two red hnnddlconfesaeri urderers and hanged them, there ia uo u-e in being haaty. There is time enough after, the law has had its farcial course. They shall never escape, law era or no Uw yers. Independent: The wheat crop is being peednv deposited at the mills. At the Salem Flouring mills they are rceiving about 1800 bushels daily, and this will be raised very much by next week. The fall urain has not been nearly as good as was xpected before thresning, the straw was ery heavy, but the heads were not well filled. Th-re is every indication that the att n- lance of firemen in thia city next Mouday ill be tho largest that ever assembled in the state. There will be representative from almost every town in Oregon, and also tiom many of the towus of Washington fne hose tournament will be the granp event, and competition will be very active tor the prizes. ' VV. VV. Statesman: The haivest has so far advanced, that estimates can now he made of the approximate yield. Ic is con- ervatively calculated that the country east f the Cascades will yield two hundred 'hoosaiid tons or three million bushels of wheat. This is a moderate estimate for this phenomenal year. The best authorities sat it ia from 30 to 40 per cent more than th country ever before produced. Miners trom Loeur d Alene are now em ployed as farm hauria in E intern VV sailing- nn and Oregcn at SI per day and board. Van L. Ltshinutt states that the mine own rs of Idaho would iiive employment to tho sands of these laborers if they would work for $175 per day and hoard. But 'heir union will not permit this, and th mine owners cannot afford to pay the S3 50 per day demanded Considerable excitement is manifested every afternoon to the drili of the hose team down Third street, from Y ashington to Union, and excel ent time has been made hnth in the straight-an-ay race and the Hew Yoik teat. The boys are clothed in i proper harness, and this gives them an op portunity to display their agility. These races are witnessed daily by a large crowd ot citizens. The fire department nf The Dalles re apectfuliy request all fineness boutS in the city to close their doors during the hours in which the parade, races, etc , take place. in order that fireman and others may parti cipate. Our guests will come from all por tions of Oregoo and v ashington, and they should receive a hearty welcoma trom the oi'izens. Monday and luesday should be considered firemen's days. Mr. F. E MtCormick collected from out ci iz-ns yesterday $o0 in cash, besides do nations in clothing, etc , for Mr. Mott's familv, who were left home ess and desti rute by the burning of their dwelling on Pleasant Ridge Tuesday afternoon. Mrs Mott, in her efforts to saye articles from the building, became reckless and ventured too far, and was only rescued from the fl.mes, bv being pulled through a window. As it was her dress took tire and was com pletely destroyed. The harvest helds of Wasco county giv evidence of great activity, and farmers are busy from morning until night. So far as results a e known the yield is much better than was expected and there will be quite an export trade. The wheat is of a much better quality than that of last year, and will bring a fair pnee in the market. Our farmers are welt supplied with harveatin? machinery, and grain is speedily harvested. Large quantities of grain hay - b-en cut for hay, and tiiis sells at a good figure to local dealers. So far none has been rnc ived at the warehouses, anuL no sales have been made. Salem Independent: Tnere teems to be a little money in Portland yet. The other day a well known Silem man, who held a state warrant for three hondied dollars. went to Portland to get it cashed, fie tried at several banks aud at last found one that would give him the money if lie would discount, it five per cent. This he was compelled to do. inasmuch as he was in ur gent need of the coin. If the bank from hicb he got the money happe a to be one of those that has rtate funds in deposit what a neat little thing it will make out of that deal. - Brown & Hamilton's steers were driven from their ranch, np near J as Wylmd's re cently, says the rJ-ppner Gazette Ouly the sudden re' urn of Ed. Crabtree saved them from being taken away entirely. E 1 says there were two of tho thieves, one driving a small bunch of steers which be thought bore the Patberg brand. Going on nearer the house, he was surprised to Bee a bunch of steers . belonging to the ranch being driven away. As soon as the thief v discov ered E i 's preseoce he pit spurs to his hnrae and was soon out of aigbt. They are supposed to be a part of the gang who are responsible for the disappearance of the Butter creek cattle recently. ' This warm weather must have bad a ter rible effect upon Bro. Patterson, of the Heppner Gazette, as the following will ver ify. ' On Sept 4th, the firemen of Port land will give a l.ig tournament, all firemen of the Pacific northwest being invited. Low rates of transportation have been made well as rea-ouable hotel charges the purxm given for firemen's races will amount to $250 The whole will be followed by a ball for firemen. A good time is expected." Now this is unkind ou the part of our c temporary, aa The Dalles is the place for holding the tournament. Oar citizens have made extensive arrangements for entertain ing guests fmm all portioos of the state, and do not wish the big city on the Willamette to have the honor. .But, perhaps, the mis take was made by our brother by the two the conductors not to accept tickets issued by the agent; i.ut sucn tickets would un doubtedly be good in the hauda of an inno cent traveler.

Cascade Locks, Aug. 28, 1393, Editor TIMSS-MOUKTA1.1SSB: The click and ring of the stone cutter's hammer and chisel is sounding at very nearly the same rate as before the recent strike. I learn tbere are about ninety cutters at work, and about one hundred and forty others engaged in the various other parts of the work. The pumping goes uninterruptedly on, and the water has been lowered at a lively rate. The bottom of Ihe canal will be ex posed to view by Thursday, if not sooner, provided there is no bad luck to the ma chinery or otherwise. Zebedee. Cascade Locks, Aug. 31, 1893. Editor Tms-MoraTAUiua: The bottom of the completed part of the canal was free from water early this morn ing with the exception of a small apace that the large Damn could not takn up. The small pump and driving power is in place ready to atart in the morning, and will keep the canal tree from water while ex cavating, and wall work goes on. - So fSr as I know every tning ia going well with the work, and I hope most earnestly that it may continue to do so until fully completed. Outside of the work there seems a dearth of interesting or exciting events. Tbere is some talk among the better class of labor ing men on the action of the lower hou-e of congress on the silver question. I think, without exception, they disapprove the course acted out.

Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South' Dakota, Virginia and Wisconsin. Only five of these elect governors, viz. Onio, Iowa, Massachusetts, Virginia and W aconsin. The ot ers elect only legisla tures or minor state officers. In Iowa, Ken tucky and Virginia, the legislatures chosen this fall will elect United States senators While the voice of the people will not be directly upon national issues, the result ot these elections will nevertheless give a pointer as to the feeling of the voters on the present business and industrial paralysis. There are urgent calls these days for charity, for the army of tramps i composed in many instances ot men thrown out of em ployment, and are forced to go from place to p ace. In such cases an exception should be made, aud these should not be treated aa criminals. We heard of a case to day of a young man arriying in town on a freight train from La Grande, who was discharged trom the shops at Omaha, when the forces were reduced. He was hungry, and, not knowing it to be an offense against the city ordinance, asked for something to eat. We bave some provisions left from . the dona tions received at the time of our great tire, and if a board of charities were organized these could te used to feed the deserving hungry. For energy and enterprise concmend us to the tenacious insect commonly known as the house fly. He wings his flight in the glare of the midday sun, sings his song of joy in the ear of the laborer as be bends over his work. Drive him away and he buzzes around again. You may even kill him; but there is another willing on the in stant to fill up the gap in the ranks. These flies are very i ersisteut little creature ; but tbey are very annoying, and are not a eans of mitigating tbe ills to which life is heir. Spontaneous generation may not be susceptible ot scientific nrool; but the mul titude of insects that afflicts poor humanity every year would incline' one to believe that they are ground out anoually in innu merable quantities.

" Little 11 year old Hans Hansen, living near Nebalem, says a valley exchange, had an experience the other day he will not suon forget While S-hing in Crook creek canyon with a companion he crawled through some brush to reach a place near the falls. . Tbe other boy, being larger, could not get through, ao be started to climb over, when he ran into a cougar. He picked up some rocks and threw at the l east, and being bit the cougar made a spring and landed on tbe back of young Hansen, who was a few feet below. He had just stepped on a rock on the edge of he water when the cougar struck bim and was knocked into tbe toaming water and carried over the falls. He escaped unhurt The cougar did not go over the falls, but after a hard struggle to get out fina ly suc ceeded and disappeared in the woods. Tbe boy has lots of grit, for he went fishing in the same place the next day. Bears Treed by a Woman. Here is the best bear storv pt the sea son trom the East Washinytonian, and the author should be given the medal : "The widow Boiley aud P. Browder, while picking huckleberries on Cummins creek one day this week, came across an old bear and two cubs. The cubs were chased up a tree where they were safely guar led by Mrs Bosley, while Browder walked to a mill, two miles distaut, and returned with a gun. While the widow was stand mg at the tree watching tbe cubs the old bear tore around, crasning the brush at a fearful rate and growling frightfully, but kept some distance away. The widow stood pluckily at her post and delivered the 'bar meat' to the gunner, who dis- latcbed both cubs on short order upon his return. - The cubs made seveial at tempts to get down tho tree to tbe ground but were as often beaten back by the wo man, who rapped them unmercifully with a stick, while she kept on: eye on the old bear, who wa- kicking up such a racket as would have caused the famous bear hunter of Pomeroy to either skedaddle or climb more rapidly than the cubs." A Sad Mission. Mr. A. J. McHailev returned last night from tbe Sound on the sad mission of ac companying the remains of his daughter, Ida Eliza, here for interment. She bad been sick for some time with consump tion, and was in Seattle under the care of a physician. Jast Saturday he received a telegram announcing the fact tbat she wa; very sick and to come at once. He immediately came to town and took the Sunday morning train, but before he ar rived at bis destination his daughter had passed away in the arms of her mother, who had patiently waited on the sufferer during tbe long illness.l The funeral will take place in this city to-morrow forenoon at 11 o'clock at the Congregational church, and the body will be laid to rest in tbe Odd Fellows' cemetery. Elder J. W. Jenkins, of the Christian church, will officiate at the church and rrave. Miss Ida Eliza McHailey was 19 years of age, and was born in Tbe Dalles. She was a young lady of very estimable traits ot character, and her death will be a source of regret to her many iriends. Order of parade.

McPherson, Sanders Logan, J. W. Howard, Alf Allen, William Pollard, Frank Prine and several others. This deal will bring over $100,000 into the county to enliven business. Ere long a boat ot cowboy a will be seen scurry ing over tbe plains, reminding as of years ago when the, cattle business waa the prin ciple occupation of the people here. An Explanation..

Tickets $1. tbe following from tbe East Oreqonian: "Siys The Dalles Time? Mountaineer: 'Most of the letters a king the governor to call an extra session of the legislature are from Umatilla county, where, it is alleged, the farmers are in debt $5,000,000, and wheat ia quoted at thirty-eight cents a bushel ' Some of these letters were written from Umatilla county, but most of them by men who bave n ither property nor labor at stake Tbe farmers of Umatilla are not in debt $5,000 000 or anythiog like it. The total debt of Umatilla county, which in cludes debts owed to other citizens of tbe county, as well aa mortgages, accounts with merchants and tbe debts of merchants, is not $5,000,000. Hyperboles are easily con structed by any one who cares not how carelessly he handles the troth and who writes to excite surprises rather than to state a fact. Umatilla county possesses such a citizen, aud he is solely responsible for most ot tbe letters written in the inter 'est of a 'stay law.' What his object was we fail to understand." , Echoes From the Ocean. Sea View, Aug. 28, 1893. Editor Tmsa-MotrsTAiissaa: I can almost say with Byron : And I bave loved thee ocean, and my joy Of youtb-ul sports w .s on thy breast to be Borne, like thy oubb.es, on-rard; trom a boy 1 wantoned Kith thf breakers For the Atlantic sang my cradle hymn, aod In manhood the Pacific has told me tales ot joy, sorrow and disappointment. To watch the breakers as they chase each other'in their mad race to be dashed upon the shore is an amusement of which one never tires; and then the thunder tonss of old ocean's roar awes him into silence and reflection. It sings the song of cen turies past and centuries yet to come. When the world was young, and man had not learned to build the column or hew the architrave, its tune was the same. In death it is a requiem ; in joy it is a waltz The same continuous swish and swash ; the same crested waves followed each other, tilher dashing their fury against the ro t ribbed side of. some blufl or lov ingly kissing the pebbly b'.acb, before the pyramids were built or tbe Aryan races scattered over rLbrope. When the proud Armada pressed its bosom or tbe dragon- headed prow of the ship of tbe Viking cleft its surface, this watery waste was the same restless as life, uncertain as death and as boundless as eternity t it representative of Deity it commands re spect and adora'ion. But farewell to reyerie and now to facts. There are very many Dalles people scattered around on the beach, enjoying the cool breeze,'' while no doubt you swelter in the heat. Amusements consist of bathiDg and watching the life-saving crew go through their usual exercises. Tbe beach is twenty miles long, and is a splendid drive or walk to an atblete. Every day it is literally crowded with loungers and bathers, who appear to take the greatest enjoyment in their listless state of existence. More anon. , Amicitia. Kidnapped- A strange tale comes from Perrydale, Polk county. A week ago last Thursday night as Luke Strong was traveling along the road between the farm of Ira Town- send and Perrydale, after dark, he was set upon by two men who threw . him down and bound him He was then blindfolded and conducted on foot to what he thinks was Breidwell's station, where ha was put into hack, and then begaa a journey that ended about twelve miles east of the Summit near Mt. Hood. Strong was kept blindfolded the entire distance, and was offered food, which he declined. Tuesday night his captors did not t:e him as usual, and along toward morning he escaped and started west. After daylight he met a freighter going to Tygh valley, who gave him $2. Strong left his coat, watch aod chain' and $32 with his captors. . He walked the entire distance, yia Portland, to Perrydale, ar riving home last Friday at midnight, says the Sheridan Sun. Stroug is 20 years of age, has no bad habits and is consid ered truthful by all who know him. He thinks the men were after some one else, and when they found their mistake, they purposely gave him an opportunity to es cape.
